Abstract: A combination paint receptacle and handle for lifting and carrying the paint receptacle includes (i) a handle with first and second handle prongs depending from a hand-grip portion and (ii) a substantially rigid paint tray including a bottom wall and four side walls joined to, and extending upwardly from, the bottom wall toward an open receptacle top end. Two opposed side walls extend longitudinally along a tray axis. A top-end periphery defining the open receptacle top end includes at least one outwardly extending receptacle lip extending along each of the opposed side walls, and each receptacle lip has a lip underside. A deviated lip portion with a component of spatial extension perpendicular to the top end periphery is defined along each of the two opposed side walls and has defined therethrough a prong-receiving aperture configured for insertably and removably receiving one of the first and second handle prongs.

Abstract: A paint applicator configured for use in combination with a hollow-core paint roller cover includes a handle and a pair of pivot arms extending therefrom. Each pivot arm includes a proximate end rotatably mounted to the handle and an opposite, distal end to which is pivotably mounted a hub assembly. A pivot arm actuator is cooperatively linked to the pivot arms such that movement of the actuator in opposed first and second directions causes the pivot arms to rotate toward and away from one another. Each hub assembly includes a rotatable hub frictionally engage the inside surface of the roller cover such that, when the pivot arms are rotated toward one another, the hubs enter and retain the roller cover therebetween. An actuator lock carried by the handle assembly includes a lock slide displaceable between locked and unlocked positions that, respectively, prevent and permit movement of the pivot arm actuator.
